Not only did the Washington Redskins pummel the Philadelphia Eagles on the field today, but you Redskins supporters continued to show that you are the best fanbase in the NFL.

The Redskins fans today won the “12th Man Battle” against the Eagles fans, a social media competition that began Wednesday night and concluded at the end of today’s 31-6 Washington victory at FedExField.

To be honest, it didn’t look like we had a chance at first. The Eagles held a commanding 80- to 20-percent lead at one point before a massive campaign by Redskins players and fans brought Washington over the top for the four-percent win, 52-48.

I’ve got to say, I’m not surprised at this outcome. We’re now 4-0 in social media battles this season, claiming wins against the Eagles, New York Giants, Carolina Panthers and St. Louis Rams.

But just like the Redskins players and coaches, you can celebrate this victory tonight, but come back ready for battle tomorrow. Stay tuned for our 12th Man Battle this week against the Dallas Cowboys, who the Redskins play Thursday afternoon at Cowboys Stadium.
